Type of Information Collection: Extension without change of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Disapproved and continue	Conclusion Date: 12/01/1988
	Date Received in OIRA: 09/12/1988
Terms of Clearance: This collection of information is disapproved because it does not meet the practical utility and minimum burden requirements specified in 5 CFR 1320.4. Much of the information collected has not been adequately justified as necessary to achieve the agency's program objective of assessing economic conditions which affect employment and compensation. For example, data collected regarding an employer's non-personnel expenses are not directly related to wages. In order to establish practical utility, the agency must describe the economic basis for the information collected. Therefore, in any resubmission of this package, DOL should include in the justification: (1) a proposed methodology to determine when and by how much minimum wages will be raised, (2) the economic theory and assumptions used to develop that methodology, (3) a list of the economic variables in the methodology which are unknown, and (4) a description of how the data collected will be used to approximate unknown variables.
